Arrows of the Almighty

[Job 6:4] For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
[A military image (Jug. 20:33). All the terrors which the divine wrath can muster are set in array against me (Isa. 42:13). Are like a numerous army, who invade me on every side. This was the sorest part of his calamity, wherein he was an eminent type of Messiah, who complained most of the sufferings of His soul:
1. Now is My soul troubled (Jn. 12:27).
2. My soul is exceeding sorrowful (Matt. 26:38).
3. My G-d, My G-d, why hast Thou forsaken me? (Matt. 27:46).
Indeed trouble of mind is the sorest trouble a wounded spirit who can bear.
Poor Job sadly complains here,
1. Of what he felt The arrows of the Almighty are within me. It was not so much the troubles themselves he was under that put him into this confusion, his poverty, disgrace, and bodily pain. But that which cut him to the heart and put him into this agitation, was to think that the G-d he loved and served had brought all this upon him and laid him under these marks of His displeasure. Trouble of mind is the sorest trouble. A wounded spirit who can bear! Whatever burden of affliction, in body or estate, G-d is pleased to lay upon us, we may well afford to submit to it as long as He continues to the use of our reason and the peace of our consciences; but, if in either of these we be disturbed, our case is sad indeed and very pitiable. The way to prevent G-d's fiery darts of trouble is with the shield of faith to quench Satan's fiery darts of temptation. He calls them the arrows of the Almighty; for it is an instance of the power of G-d above that of any man that He can with His arrows reach the soul. He that made the soul can make His sword to approach to it. The poison or heat of these arrows is said to drink up His spirit, because it disturbed his reason, shook his resolution, exhausted his vigor, and threatened his life; and therefore his passionate expressions, though they could not be justified, might be excused.
2. Of what he feared. He saw himself charged by the terrors of G-d, as by an army set in battle-array, and surrounded by them. G-d, by His terrors, fought against him. As he had no comfort when he retired inward into his own bosom, so he had none when he looked upward towards Heaven. He that used to be encouraged with the consolations of G-d not only wanted those, but also was amazed with the terrors of G-d.]
Have you been trouble of mind?
A wounded spirit?
Has the Father been trying to reach your soul?
Have you tried to submit your burdens to Him?
Let it go and submit to His will.
The way to prevent G-d's fiery darts of trouble is with the shield of faith to quench Satan's fiery darts of temptation.
